Missions Support 101
Our missionaries are out there and we are here at home. Here are several ways in which you can support missions from where you are:
Help with directed prayers
Pray faithfully for specific needs that missionaries share in their communications. You can also pray for their alignment with God’s vision, and for their faith, wisdom, protection and health. Pray for the cultural and linguistic challenges they often face.
Help with frequent communication
Missionaries can experience periods of loneliness and homesickness. Frequent and regular communications such as short notes, emails, birthday greetings, care packages and caring conversations assures missionaries of our ongoing committed partnership with them.
Help with a time commitment
It takes time to build a trusted relationship with a missionary. It takes time to provide sincere and frequent communications, to pray faithfully for specific concerns and needs and to listen to and read compassionately and responsively regarding events in their lives.
Help by celebrating together
rejoice with missionaries as they overcome political and religious barriers, as they build relationships and especially as they bring a lost soul to Christ.
Help with Financial Support
Our church’s mission budget is 10% of our total budget. A faithful sacrificial financial commitment to our church’s overall budget provides for our mission needs. In addition, you, or your life group or Bible study group may commit to provide financial support to a missionary directly.
